AAPM ® “Transcending to New Heights”

A welcome note from the Founder of the USA Commission

Graduate credentials are undergoing a revolution globally. The applications of

project management are widespread in government, military, construction,

technology and more. The IPMC and AAPM Board of Standards was

established by leader in the USA PM Industry looking to mandate government

recognized and accredited education as a path for Management Certification.

Thus, the AAPM ® is the first to require government recognized credentials and

degrees as a Standard for membership and certification.

Rather than create broad designation for anybody who has completed high school, the IPMC has taken a

graduate approach to our program design and created post-nominal designations and executive programs

for college educated and graduate educated sector of project management professionals. As such, The

IPMC training program and enrollment requirements ensures that each IPMC and AAPM Trained

professional maintains the highest standard of demonstrated education and capability for a leadership or

executive position in Project Management.

In the last few years, IPMC ™ and AAPM ® have had a meteoric rise in membership. We have expanded

our operations globally with new alliances, training centers and operations in the UK, Asia, India, USA,

Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and throughout the Middle East. Of course at home in the Americas, we are at

the forefront of action with increased governmental and academic recognition from the likes of the

University of California Silicon Valley, City University of New York, Queens College, AEDE Spain, Scottish

Universities, The University of Atlanta and many more. The AAPM is also listed in the US Department of

Education Registry and in many other authoritative registries. Graduate applications for the MPM Masters

Certification and the CIPM international qualifications are now possible through more than 40 of the

world’s leading government approved colleges and universities that offer Project Management related

Graduate Degrees. Although it can take 2-4 years to complete a degree with one of our IPMC ™

recognized programs, we can offer an intensive Certification training from our alliance accredited law

school program to groups that require certification. This Executive Certification Training Model is

available on location, in-house, on away at pre-determined resorts as per a corporate request.

Membership growth is accelerating with members in 120+ countries. Our quickest growing regions

internationally are in the EU, Latin America, Asia, India, the Middle-East and Africa. Our relationships

with leading fortune 500 company executives & employees continues to be a key strategy in defining the

practical direction of our programs as our corporate members or clients have identified key development

needs for their staff and for time management.

Together we are truly ‚Leading the World in Graduate Project Management ™‛

Cordially and Kindest Regards,

About the American Academy of Project Management ® – Board of Standards ™ The AAPM ® American Academy of Project Management ® was originally established in 1996 by the

Founders Board of the Graduate Institute of Executive Leadership and Development which was a

College Chartered Organization in America. The IPMC ™ International Project Management

Commission ™ was originally established as a professional Board of Standards and Ethics for

management consultants, marketing specialists, executives, professors, leadership analysts, and

trained military. The Commission is also in direct alliance with the International Institute for

Professional Analysts and the E-Business Institute which helped establish the Global e-Business

Board. The IPMC ™ currently recognizes nearly 12,000 Professors, Managers, PhDs, Government

Employees, Scientists, Lawyers, Military, & PM Masters Degree Holders as executive members in

over 120+ nations. The IPMC could be much larger, but we don’t accept candidates without college

education or equivalency.

AAPM®/IPMC established its first overseas alliances in Europe, and from that point the membership

has quickly grown to cover over 120 separate nations. Those members are supported through college

and alliance offices in UK, Canada, Latin America, China, Singapore, Beijing, USA, Hong Kong , The

Bahamas, Silicon Valley, and South Africa. As there had not been a graduate professional project

manager organization specifically for Executives, Management, Team Leaders, MBAs, Military

Officers, PhDs and accredited degree holders, The AAPM ™ has met this need and become the

organization of choice for highly educated individuals, leaders, and industry experts. This is because

The IPMC ™ and AAPM require an accredited college degree or equivalent for membership and

certification. The AAPM receives its training license, sanction and authority from the IPMC ™

International Project Management Commission ™.

Officially expanding overseas in 2001, the CEC and the IPMC © International Operations operates

with strategic representatives offices in UK, Singapore, Beijing and Cairo . The IPMC ™ Global

Board of Standards is Headquartered in the United States of America. The Board of Standards has

sitting executive members from Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Canada, EU, UK,, South Africa,

and many more locations. Furthermore, AAPM ™ Board has several global certifications available

for its membership which are the: CIPM ™ Certified International Project Manager and MPM ™

Master Project Manager i.e. The Masters Certification, and The PME ™ Project Manager E-Business.

The Board also offers certifications in Quality, Human Resources, and Risk Management. The AAPM

™ is the regulatory body for the much sought after AAPM ™ and CEC Designations and

Credentials. The AAPM ™ Executive Designation Programs provide the assurance that the holder

has met the suggested criteria for graduate credentials set out in the US Supreme Court Decisions.

Further, the AAPM board certification requires meeting 6 different levels of global criteria including

ethics and our global body of standards which are the 1st Standards specifically based on the

methodology used by government agencies and departments. Acceptance into the AAPM ™ is a

high distinction and requires the holder to possess a graduate level portfolio of skills and knowledge.

Acceptance statistics are not high, and the designation when achieved is a high honor strictly for

accredited degree holders or individuals with equivalent backgrounds.

AAPM’s mission is to serve its global membership and stakeholders as a world leader in educating

and reinforcing the international knowledge of executives and potential leadership of institutions.

AAPM ™ now has representative offices in Colorado Springs, San Francisco, New York, L.A. AAPM

™ mandates consent to high standards of professional conduct, and AAPM activities are International

in nature and scope.
